Annual Delmarva Wounded Warrior Escort to Ocean City (June 7th, 2016)

Each June a convoy forms to welcome soldiers to the Princess Royale in Ocean City, Maryland. The busloads of wounded warriors arrive from the city at a staging area in Mardela Springs, and from there they are escorted with honor to the hotel at 91st street in Ocean City. For the next week these families will spend time together, reconnect, relax, and enjoy the seashore.

A little girl clapping as the veterans came off the buses

Local organizations, citizens and veterans....

...all gathering at the front of the hotel with flags.

Patriotic Americans of all sizes came out to greet the soldiers.

Each bus unloads as the crowd cheers

It's a sight to see and it puts a lump in your throat.
